WolframAlpha prepares to advance human knowledge

Why should you care? Take a look and be amazed.

Wolfram published a paper on particle physics at age 15, and runs the company that produces Mathematica software. Is this the next big thing? I don't know, but the introduction suggests that it may be wonderful in the same way Wikipedia is wonderful.

At any rate, the intro is certainly worth a look.

  1. I had a silly little chatbot-type conversation with WolframAlpha, which I posted on my blog, spooframalpha.blogspot.com .

    And, yes, he/she/it CAN compare apples and oranges!

    But not so good with jokes.

    It's all in a spirit of fun. I'll get serious later.
